Section 1
The big idea
Just like a soccer team has goalies, defenders, and forwards, AI agents can split jobs. One agent finds info, another writes it up, another double-checks.
Some examples
- A 'researcher' agent gathers facts from the internet.
- A 'writer' agent turns those facts into a clear paragraph.
- A 'checker' agent looks for mistakes before showing you.
- Together they're faster than one big AI doing everything.
Try it!
Pretend you have three AI helpers: 'idea-finder', 'writer', and 'checker'. Pick a topic and write down what each would do.

AI Agents Pass Tasks to Other AI Helpers
Section 3
The big idea
Did you know one AI agent can hand off to another? A 'planner' AI breaks the job up. A 'writer' AI does each part. A 'checker' AI looks for mistakes. Like a sports team!
Some examples
- Planner AI: 'Step 1, step 2, step 3.'
- Writer AI does step 1.
- Checker AI catches a typo.
- Final AI puts it all together.
Try it!
Pick a big task (like making a comic). What 3 AI roles would you put on the team?
Here's why "AI Agents Pass Tasks to Other AI Helpers" matters: AI agents don't just answer questions — they can do things, like looking things up, writing files, or talking to apps. Some big AI jobs use a team — one AI plans, another writes, another checks — and knowing how to apply this gives you a concrete advantage.
- Learn what "multi-agent" means and why it's important
- Learn what "teamwork" means and why it's important
- Learn what "handoff" means and why it's important
- 1Draw what you think an AI agent looks like — what tools would it carry?
- 2List five tasks you wish a robot helper could do for you
- 3Think about one rule you'd give an AI helper

Section 5
The big idea
Big jobs sometimes need a TEAM of AI agents. One does research, another writes, another checks the work. Just like a team of kids on a school project — but made of code.
Some examples
- One agent searches; another summarizes; a third makes slides.
- A research bot, a writer bot, and an editor bot.
- A planner agent and a doer agent working together.
- Many agents picking different parts of a big puzzle.
Try it!
Plan a school project with 3 friends. Each picks one job (research, draw, write). That's a multi-agent team!

Section 7
The big idea
Some big AI projects use many agents at once — one writes, one checks, one summarizes. They pass work to each other.
Some examples
- Writer agent makes a story.
- Editor agent fixes mistakes.
- Reader agent decides if it's good.
- Together, they finish a big job fast.
Try it!
Imagine 3 AI agents helping you with a school project. What jobs would each have? Draw it out!
